CURTIS SCHMIDT

Curtis Schmidt, a Milwaukee native, began his career in advertising as a video editor, working with national brands like Toyota, Gillette, Marmot, and Google. His work took him across the country to Los Angeles, New York, Kansas City, and eventually to his permanent home in Chicago, Illinois. Alongside his commercial work, Curtis also edited music videos for renowned artists such as Muse, Queens of the Stone Age, and Kendrick Lamar. His expertise led him to be recruited to lead the post-production departments of several successful commercial production companies before he took on the role of Director of Video Production at a leading tech company. Throughout his career, Curtis developed strong leadership and technical skills, taking on roles that blended creative direction, project management, marketing, and team leadership.

Curtis has been an invited participant in panel discussions about post production and virtual reality for Columbia College, AICP, Chi VR (the Midwest’s largest virtual reality meet up), the Virtual and Augmented Reality Association (VR/ARA), and the Chicago Creative Pro Users Group. His passion for storytelling and new immersive technologies translates into fruitful partnerships with the companies, creatives, and agencies who collaborate with him.
